Instrucciones

In a small saucepan, add butter and melt over medium heat. Once the butter has fully melted, a white foam will begin to appear over the top of the butter.

Watch carefully as the butter’s color changes to brown and the smell of the butter becomes somewhat nutty.

As soon as the butter is an amber brown color, remove from heat and cool in the refrigerator until it the butter has become solid again (can take about an hour or so).

Add cooled brown butter and cream cheese to the bowl of your mixer and beat on high speed until it begins to thicken and fluff.

Next slow down mixer and carefully add in confectioner’s sugar. Once all sugar has incorporated, turn mixer back to high to continue whipping.

Add salt and vanilla extract and continue whipping until it is smooth.

Spread frosting between layers and around cake and serve.
